“Adults must aim to diminish their egocentric and authoritarian attitude toward the child and adopt a passive attitude in order to aid in his devleopment.”
Paula Polk Lillard, Montessori: A Modern Approach

Jean Piaget
“Each time one prematurely teaches a child something he could have discovered himself, that child is kept from inventing it and consequently from understanding it completely.”
Jean Piaget

Maria Montessori
“The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.”
Dr. Maria Montessori

Elizabeth  White
“My experiences as a Montessori teacher have led me to realize that our goal as educators is not to impart facts to children as though they were empty vessels to be filled, but to open their eyes so they can exclaim joyfully, "Wow, look at what I am becoming! I've got to know more!" (from Walking in Wonder)”
Elizabeth White

Maria Montessori
“Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.”
Maria Montessori
